Thank God!! The changes aren't noticeble. I guess all that talk of "scallop" headlites are all BS.

So the fog lites are round (but does it really matter?) That's cool, I can live without it. So the turn signals are "round" as well ( so what does that do?? ) Okay, I can live without it.

So the Nav system screen is a bit larger (hummm.. like I look at that when I am driving, Geez) I guess bigger is better , but then I couldn't tell the difference between a 19 and 21 inch monitor, so that's another moot point there...

yeah, don't mind me... I am just jeoulous, but I will stick w/ 2000 540.
